I would be cautious about All World Private Funding. I came across this from RipoffReport.com:

Lending club is a great peer-to-peer social lending network - there is also Zopa, Prosper.com and All World Private Funding.
If you think that peer-to-peer lending can work for you - you might also try micro-credit lenders like ACCION USA.

Thanks for bring the Lending Club to the community's attention! It sounds like it could be the loan alternative that many community members are looking for.
The Lending Club has produced an impressive amount of 'buzz' so members should take a look at the Who's Talking About Us section. There you'll find great information from press releases, news coverage, and success stories. One story from Fox News highlighted a young woman that previously had problems with very high interest loans but was able to receive much better financing and help stabilize herself through the Lending Club. It sounds like many of our members could relate to her situation and can look into this program to see if it would be right for them.
Has anyone had any personal experience with the Lending Club? What do you all think about a program like this?
